1. Zelda
2. Fire Emblem
3. Super Mario Bros (including Yoshi games, Mario RPG, & Super Paper Mario)
4. Xenoblade
5. Donkey Kong (Especially the DKC trilogy)
6. Animal Crossing
7. Super Mario Kart
8. Earthbound
9. Kirby
10. Wii series

Difficult list. I started with Earthbound in the #2 slot because Earthbound is one of my favourite games ever, but it kept getting pushed down when I considered how much I loved other Nintendo franchises.

I know the feels!

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Started totting up the numbers. It would appear 1st and 2nd most popular franchise will be of no surprise to anyone. However there is quite a battle for 3rd spot! I will leave it a day in case of more "top tens" then i will do a final tot up. I may announce the results here or even do another post for the full result.

Now this is interesting. Yes, Zelda is at the top of the list for me, but where do I put everything else? My top 3 is going to be cliche. I've avoided Smash Bros and Mario Kart because in my mind they're kind of 'all-star' franchises but they are some of my favourite Nintendo titles.

10) Pikmin
9) Xenoblade Chronicles
8) Advance Wars
7) F Zero
6) Animal Crossing
5) Mother
4) Fire Emblem
3) Super Mario (2D/3D platformers)
2) Metroid
1) The Legend of Zelda

Honourable mentions to Golden Sun, Luigi's Mansion, Splatoon, Kid Icarus, Star Fox, and Donkey Kong Country.

I know it's hard for you all to make a top 10. I found it hard too! If it wasn't for BOTW i think Zelda wouldn't have even made my cut! Imo Nintendo has so many good franchises! Shame that Mk and Smash missed out on some points because they were considered "all star" but nvm. Your choice.
